Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.) Space Systems Operations Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited Worldview-2 spectral imagery acquired over Duck, NC and Pendleton, CA were analyzed to extract Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDF) for 8 spectral bands. Spectral data in the visible and near-infrared bands were acquired for 15 azimuth/elevation values during the Duck NC orbit pass; data were collected at ten-second intervals. Ten images were acquired over Pendleton. Orthoready images were coregistered using first-order polynomials for the two image sequences. BRDF profiles have been created for scene elements: vegetation, asphalt, sand, and water. These data allowed for unique high-spatial resolution BRDF profiles, which can be used to inform terrain classification and target detection in satellite imagery. 2012-03-14T17:44:10Z 2012-03-14T17:44:10Z 2010-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/5102 697888954 This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
